This is the kind of behavior we can expect from adolescent delinquents and meth-heads, as neither have a healthy respect for their neighbors, especially when they are just passing through the neighborhood. Obviously we need more patrols at night checking the surface streets in addition to cruising up and down 99W, as well as a diligent neighborhood watch that can report when things are just not right or suspicious and then the MPD can properly investigate and maybe even stop another despicable episode like the one mentioned in the article, before it becomes a chargeable offense. We need to support our local LEOs and by extension be their eyes and ears on the quiet streets we long to live on.
